Businesses, students connect at career fair

D.C. Everest Senior High School students flocked to the Greenheck Field House this morning to visit with local professionals and discuss future career paths.

The annual secondary career fair featured more than 50 local companies and organizations, all available to speak one-on-one with students about their plans after graduation.

Senior Kaleb Kratwell, 17, will start college next fall at UW-Stevens Point to study conservation but was excited to check out the other offerings at the fair. He said the event is a way for students without a plan to figure out what they want to do after high school.

"Today really just helps students start thinking about their future and get a feel for what life would be with that career," Kratwell said.
